Demand for Alternatives to H-1B Visas Rises Amidst Layoffs and Scrutiny

Demand for Alternatives to H-1B Visas Rises Amidst Layoffs and Scrutiny

Many Indian workers in the US are worried about their H-1B visas because the government is checking them more closely.

Also, some tech companies are laying people off.

Because of this, people are looking at other kinds of visas, like L-1 and O-1 visas, which don't have as many restrictions.

Experts say there's also more interest in EB-5 visas, where people invest money.

This is because people are worried about being able to travel or get their visas renewed.

Some companies are even sending their workers to Canada temporarily to help them get different visas.
